High-action gameplay, varied game modes
In S.K.I.L.L.- Special Force 2, players enter into battlefields of intensive and high-octane multiplayer action as elite members of world-recognised special units, playing across a wide range of game modes. Alongside classics such as deathmatch and team deathmatch, there is ‘Seizure’, where one team has to do everything they can to get to secret information in the other team’s camp whilst they naturally try to prevent this mission. In the ‘Survival’ game mode, the challenge is much more supernatural: here players can face wave upon wave of evil aliens in groups of up to 4 or by themselves. The latter also plays a significant role in the ‘Party’ mode: in classic team deathmatch manner, one team takes on the skills of the humans whilst the second team slips into the skins of extra-terrestrial invaders. They then have three unique classes to choose from: the ripper, the stunner and the libertine.
In order to be equipped for every situation, the players also receive access to an extensive arsenal of weaponry. The primary weapons are separated into the categories of rifle, sniper, MG and SMG and are available in many different finishes – for example with sights or silencers. The character can also be customized using equipment such as helmets, boots and bandoleers according to your own preferences.

Useful and innovative: the in-game clan feature
A central element of the game is the in-game clan feature, with which players can organise and manage their clan directly in the game. The customisable clan page offers the possibilities of clan administration, an application system for potential recruits, internal clan rankings and a clan chat, amongst other things.

Deeply atmospheric thanks to Unreal 3 and professional sound design
S.K.I.L.L. (Secret Kommando: Infiltrate. Liquidate. Liberate.) - Special Force 2 is built on the Unreal 3 engine and additionally offers a realistic sound backdrop: the weapon sounds have been recorded and prepared especially for the game by professional sound designers with Hollywood experience. Development studio Dragonfly’s title – known in Korea under the moniker of Special Force 2 – has been running very successfully in Korea and is one of the most popular shooters in the local e-sports scene. Alongside German and English, the title will appear in further languages, including Spanish, French and Russian.
